Just a state of mind
I'm starting to think we've entered some kind of monsoon season. Bergen is known as the wettest city in Norway, but this is getting ridiculous. I feel like I've been cooped up in here for weeks.
I think the long summer holiday destroyed my "Rain? You call this rain?" Bergenser approach, because I used to go hiking in the mountains in the downpour without a second thought, but these days I can barely force myself to go to the store and back in the rain.
This needs to change. I need to get back to my hiking habits - I guess it's time to load the mp3 player with British radio again and just get outside. Hm, maybe I should give Coules' Sherlock Holmes audios yet another relisten? I never tried doing them all chronologically, did I?
That's it then; A Study in Scarlet on the player, with Clive Merrison at - well I don't know how old he was at the time, but in any case way older than Holmes' twenty-six years, but that doesn't matter because Merrison's the best Holmes that ever was, at any age (although it was kind of weird in that pastiche story The Saviour of Cripplegate Square but that might have had something to do with the absurdity of Tom Baker bursting into my Sherlock Holmes story).
ETA: And just when I'd made up my mind it REALLY started pouring cats and dogs out there. Hey, I've got enough food to tide me over 'till tomorrow...
